What is Laser Light Therapy?
Laser Light Hair Therapy is a non-surgical method of using low level laser energy, or “soft” laser light to treat and control hair loss. The use of light energy to treat and cure disease is relatively new compared to the use of antibiotics. The use of low power laser energy would not have been possible without the foresight of the “Father of Laser Biostimulation,” professor Andre Mester of Budapest, Hungary.
Professor Mester began wound treatment experiments on laboratory mice in 1967 using laser energy. He discovered that low energy laser radiation had a stimulating effect on biological systems and that high-energy radiation had an inhibiting effect. Using a low powered (cold laser) he observed and recorded rapid healing of wounds due to increased micro-circulation of blood supplies. He was astonished when he also observed accelerated hair growth as well as a thickening of hair in the treated areas. This result was also confirmed in subsequent laser light treatments of diabetes patients suffering with sores that would not heal. Here again, accelerated hair growth and increased hair density was observed in treated areas.
How does Laser Light Therapy work?
Low level laser photons irradiate the entire scalp increasing micro-circulation of blood supplies to the hair follicles. Pure red, “soft” laser light stimulates the scalp, significantly increasing the number of red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb. Hair follicles, which are dormant but not dead, can often be rehabilitated as debris is flushed from the hair shaft, swelling the cortex and closing the cuticle. Established hair becomes thicker, looks and feels softer and is easier to manage.
Is Laser Light Therapy safe?
Yes! The laser devices used in the Swiss Care Therapy program are therapeutic lasers approved safe for cosmetic purposes and fully comply with federal standards for laser safety. The energy produced by the laser diodes does not have the thermal component necessary to cause thermal injuries to users or operators. There has never been an incident where an individual was harmed in anyway as result of laser hair therapy treatments.
